Fragment of a private account listing household purchases, chiefly foodstuffs such as eggs, radish oil, small fish and bread, together with wormwood and a pack-saddle, with sums in silver drachmas and talents. It dates to the early 4th century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […] silver […] for a pack-saddle, silver 2,000 (?) for wormwood, 2 talents for eggs, silver 8 for radish oil, silver 17 for other eggs, silver 8 for annona bread (?), silver 8 for radish oil, silver 8 for small fish, 1 talent for morsels of bread (?) of the […], 1 talent for radish oil, silver 18 for […], talents […] for white ointment (?), 1 talent, drachmas […] for […], silver 8 for small entrails (?), silver […] […] for radish oil, silver […] for pastilles (?), silver […] for radish oil, silver […] for amber (?) […] […] […]

The large talent sums reflect the heavy inflation of the early 4th century. Several items (annonikon, leukomennion, entryskon, ψωμίων τῆς οννα) are of uncertain meaning; 'annonikon' may refer to bread or goods connected with the annona.
